So many Website Designs to choose from - how do you find yours?

As Jack Kirby wrote in the Batman comics "POW" "BLAM" "KAPLOOIE," or maybe it was Richard Gere when he sang "Razzle-Dazzle 'em, and they'll know you're a star!".

If you have awesome information or deals and your Search Engine Optimization is great with a high Search Engine ranking but you site is visually unimpressive, people will wander to the website across the street that has the same quality of content with some funk-a-looza playing Jazz-Hands a flying!

Make sure you try to tap into your wildest fantasies for website designs then consider how to incorporate in your solid content and easy navigation.

As for elaborate website designs that are just for pure fun and show, many times these are marketing campaigns called "time wasters," I love them to bits! If you want to see one of my all time favorites, Google "Potato Parade," I guarantee you sill send it off to all your friends and family and they the same. It's brilliant!

Creating a web campaign is always a good idea to enhance your own website designs, just make sure that your website designs live up to the fun splash campaign. When considering a web campaign, do remember you message, have a clear and easy link to your main website then make it scary, explosive, hilarious, surprising, etc...what ever you do, do it like Vegas baby; go big or go home.

So to find you inner website designs, ask yourself:

• What audience do I want to attract?
• What's the craziest thing my website designs could do?
• What message do I want to express with my website designs?
• What is my major color scheme? Go with not more than about five different colors, have a main link color with a maximum of three different link colors in total.
• Do my website designs have enough contrast?
• Is my website accessible to disabled people.
• Are my website designs interfering with the functionality of the website?
